So-Called Virus

Hey, this is BiGwUrM and this is my first article, so here goes...

I know there have been a lot of scams lately and that not many people report them. I am reporting mine because a so-called "hacker" claims he has a "virus" that will wipe my account.

Why are some people so lazy? It all started with this person why-mailing me, wanting a few clams (about 10). Then, when I didn't reply, he kept asking and asking, and then, under a new account, he sent me this message:

    On 4/21/2002 12:14PM, ******* said:

    THIS VIRUS CAN TKE AWAY YOUR COUNT AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE ACOUNT ANMOREE AND TO LET YOU KNOW IM AN UNDERCOVER SPY SO I KNOW ALL OF THESE VIRUSES AND HACKERS CREATED THIS VIRUS LIKE [snip list] AND OTHER HACKERS.

(And why is it these so-called hackers always seem to have rubbish spelling?)

It is a big deal if you get one of these. If you receive one, please just report it to the paper right away, other Whyvillians have the right to know.

This is BiGwUrM signing off... peace, y'all.
